Yankl and the Beanstalk is a unique fusion of pantomime & Yiddish theatre, bringing to life an underrepresented piece of history. Tamara Micner’s play follows a family of pickle-makers in the 1890s East End of London who take on the greedy Giant to improve their working conditions — just in time for the hero’s bar mitzva.
This saucy, Queer, Jewish panto is directed by Laura Wohlwend, produced by Jess Donn, with music by Emily Rose Simons.
